Spectra - Data and Simulation
The following resources allow you to extract actual data for spectra or simulate spectra based on program algorythms. The spectra are displayable in image or plot formats.


High Resolution Solar Spectra
From the Paris Observatory

Selectable Solar Spectral Data - This calculator allows you to select a wavelength range (from Vis: 3000-10000A or IR: 10000-54000A) and generates a plot, image and/or ascii data output.

Astronomical Spectra on the web
This is a link-index to many astronomical spectra data resources in optical, IR and UV wavelengths from the LaserStars web site. It includes several dozen catalog sources.
